i was sitting there thinking, shall i bother to try and get a pic - nah!!!  then of course after watching her for 5 mins, i try !  this was one decent shot out of about 10.  i suppose law of averages dictates you're going to get one worth keeping.

i was delighted as i'd never seen her in the garden before. (i suppose it could be him, but with a name like Jenny i guess it's a her) .

am just in for another cuppa.  the good news is all four veggie beds are level.  now i've got to drag the OH out of his pit to make up my fourth frame.

oh and it's a lovely sunny day as well.  bit cold and breezy but i've taken one jumper off already.

;D

hee hee, cheeky bloke.

my Mr Blackbird stays on the floor.  i'm his best friend today though, so with all the earth i've turned over in the past couple of days, he's had a field day with all the half chopped worms  :o

i love all your feeders too MB.  once i've got my head together, i'll start putting out some different food to try and attract some new feathered friends.

To be honest GW my black ball isn't used much although it has sunflower seeds in it.  Last year I put raisins and currents in it, only to end up with what looked like a hanging basket of wasps.  Think I'll give that idea a miss this year.
